Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm)

The Apple Watch Series 10 is the latest mainstream model, with the Series 11 not expected until September. It offers upgrades over the Series 9, including a larger OLED Retina display, a new S10 processor that enables a slimmer profile despite similar performance, a slightly larger 42mm base model (up from 41mm), and minor features like a water depth gauge. If you own a Series 9, upgrading may not be necessary, but for first-time buyers, the Series 10 is the ideal Apple Watch for most users.

Compared to the Apple Watch SE, the Series 10 offers a larger 42mm case (versus 40mm), an Always-On display, a 30% faster processor, double the storage, advanced fitness and health sensors, double-tap gesture support, and faster charging. While the SE is more budget-friendly at $169 on Amazon, the Series 10’s enhancements justify the cost for most users.

Can You Pair an Apple Watch with an Android Phone?

While it’s technically feasible to use an Apple Watch with an Android device, it’s not advisable. Many features require an iOS smartphone, and workarounds for Android compatibility are cumbersome and limited. For the best experience, pairing an Apple Watch with an iPhone is recommended.
